when i think of free speech, i think of the ability to express an opinion without fear of prosecution, which seems germain to what the framers put together. the SCOTUS has helped refine the parameters of this by deciding you can't yell fire! in a crowded theater, etc. I can sit in front of my house with a sign that says "honk if you like trump" and be perfectly protected. if my sign says "honk if you want to assassinate trump", i can expect trouble from someone, maybe a legal issue or two to deal with as well as it could possibly constitute a threat. i'm not really sure how else to say it other than i have the liberty to express any opinion i want, but there can be repercussions depending on what i say or when i say it or who i say it to. is that still freedom of expression?
